"The Foreign Legion" provides the second chapter of a project launched earlier in 2012, with the
release of "Family Ties" (CD LR 630) - that album featured bassist Joe Morris and drummer
Gerald Cleaver. By recording with Matt Shipp and Gerald Cleaver, Ivo Perelman continues to
explore his relationship with each member of his quartet in a slightly different setting. It transpires
that it becomes a different band each time one player would drop out for a while and it opens new
possibilities for Ivo Perelman to reach new heights.
